The genotype is the part of the genetic makeup of a cell, and therefore of an organism or individual, which determines one of its characteristics . The term was coined by the Danish botanist, plant physiologist and geneticist Wilhelm Johannsen in 1903.
Learning modalities are the sensory channels or pathways through which individuals give, receive, and store information. Perception, memory, and sensation comprise the concept of modality. The modalities or senses include visual, auditory, tactile/kinesthetic, smell, and taste.
The vast majority of connections are from one area of the cortex to another rather than to subcortical areas; Braitenberg and SchÃ¼z (1991) put the figure as high as 99%.[15] The cortex is commonly described as comprising three parts: sensory, motor, and association areas. The sensory areas are the areas that receive and process information from the senses. Parts of the cortex that receive sensory inputs from the thalamus are called primary sensory areas.
